2025/06/26 - Tons of Rock, Oslo, Norway

[Lindsay]

Please use this thread to talk about Green Day's show at Tons of Rock on June 26th, 2025.

[Beathe.]

Got VIP tickets cause grandma is too old for festivals. 👵🏻

[Beathe.]

Looks like the shuttlebuses might not be the best way to go based on the updates from the festival. Why am I not suprised. 😅

Didn’t see this, what happened? Too many people?

I'm going to take the underground and walk to the festival. When heading home tonight I'll probably walk back to the city center instead of waiting for the underground/shuttle buses.

Sounds like a good plan!

Which of the other artists are you going to see today?

Will see Sex pistols simply because they're playing before Green Day. 😂 Weezer would be fun but their set is finished right before Green Day and they're at a different stage.

What about you?

Same, also gonna see Sex Pistols. I really like Frank Carter so I’m pretty excited to see them actually! If I’m up there early enough I’m thinking about giving Bad Nerves a go as well since I skipped their set in Stockholm. But not sure if I’ll make it. Have a good time! If I by any chance happen to see/recognize you I’ll say hi!

😊

I saw them in Stockholm. It wasn't my taste but they weren't bad. 

Same to you. Have the best time. 🩷🩷 Absolutely! I'll say hi if I see you as well. 🥰

[roquer]

If they play another one from Insomniac, I'm going to thing they are doing an undercover anniversary. Have fun today!

[James!]

Anyone there get footage of Billie on stage with the sex pistols?!?

This turned out to be an excellent decision. What were your reactions?

[ThranaM]

Fucking hell, what an amazing night.

We got Burnout. Fuck yes.

Crowd was lame, I had to sing Dilemma, Fuck Off and OEB mostly by myself😂

Billie got on stage with the Sex Pistols. That was also very much fun!

Haha - literally just «what??». It took a few seconds before my brain was able to process it, then I just laughed. It was very fun to watch. Billie looked so happy. 🥹

Also, the bunny fell off stage from what I saw on Instagram? Were they okay?

They continued to run a bit back and forth afterwards but didn't climb back up on stage so I suppose it must have hurt a bit. But I saw the band made a joke post on it on Instagram so I think they're okay, would've been mean otherwise 😅

Took this one 🥰:

Yeah, I saw what Green Day shared about the bunny so I know they were okay afterwards, what I was wondering was more about how they were at the moment - if they had been able to continue the show at the moment, or if they had to be carried away backstage / to paramedics. But you answered that, so thank you

Actually I had never thought much about it, but with how limited the field of vision might be in that costume, and slippery floors in rainy stages, I'm now surprised it doesn't happen more often - not necessarily the bunny falling off the stage which is a bit more extreme, but simply slipping and falling on stage.

Ah I see. From what I saw it seemed like it took a little while for them to stand up again. I didn’t see much from where I stood but it lasted long enough for people around me to start aksing «whats happening?». I saw a bunch of crew members who walked out on stage and looked down who looked worried, then after a little while I heard cheering and cameras were turned on again and Bunny made a few runs back and forth in front of the barrier before walking off.

He fell down right after he came on stage it looked like he hurt his arm. Their crew ran over right away and a medic came as well. He got up with support from the crew and high fived people but didn't get back on stage. I was standing on Jason's side and they took him out that way - next to the stage and he kept holding his arm. I saw Adrienne and Sara watching parts of Sex pistols' set from there so I guess that was the band's area was. From their instagram post it looks like he's okay thankfully. 🩷🩷

I don't think the crowd was lame at all. If you watch videos the show it looked like people were having a good time. Those three songs - including a B-side you cannot expect casual festivalgoers to know.

It was awesome! I didn't expect it at all. It looked like they all had a lot of fun. I see that there's some international media writting about it as well which is fun. Frank Carter sounds a lot like Johnny Rotten. My face was like this 😱 when they first came on. @Göta what was your reaction to their set? 🩷

Green Day's setlist was similar to the other shows. They played Fuck off and added Burnout. This show together with the first night in Vienna are my favorites from this tour so far. They seemed to have a good time and all of them were smiling. The wristband Billie Joe had on was in the colors of the Norwegian flag. 💕 He said "takk" (thank you) several times in a row which was cute.

Billie Joe talked about how it was a beautiful festival, city and country. Which he obviously says everywhere but it's more special when it's your hometown. He also said that we were all so beautiful and that "our parents fucked and made beautiful children". 🤣 Then he said something about that's not something you'll see when looking around Texas.

The last time they where here Billie Joe kept asking when the sun would go down. Yesterday he commented on how it was starting to get dark by the end of their set. 😅

Sara gave a bunch of kids drumsticks. She made two turns back and forth to give to everyone which was very nice of her. 💕 She also posted a video of a guy in a wheelchair crowdsurfing. 🩷

Edit: I'm not really into festivals and would go to a headliner show any day, but I actually liked this one. If some good bands get booked I'll definitely consider going back next year.

Oof, I saw them in Texas 😂 Hope he wasn’t thinking that at my show 🙈

Oh dear. 🤭🩷 Maybe he just said Texas because it's in the south and it's a state we would have heard of? 

I'm glad they seemed to have fun. From the stories Kevin posted they got to enjoy the fjord, the Munch museum and some Norwegian dessert. 💕💕

[Cris.]

Thank you @Göta & @Beathe. for the additional details about what happened to the bunny. The videos of them falling looked a bit concerning indeed. I guess if they made a few runs along the barricade before going to the stage side, hopefully the arm was hurt but not broken.

 

And thanks for all the additional details about the show @Beathe.! I'm really regretting not having booked any of the Scandinavian festivals! Even if I'm not big on festival, I think just for trip (and escaping the heat!) it would have been fun, and everyone who's attended these shows actually seems to have had such a great time!

I also saw them in Texas last year and thought "well thanks Billie " when I read that hahaha
